Pulling first name from LMS

I am having some problems with this.  If I use the technique to pull usernames etc, it only works if I publish as flash/html5 fallback.  If I publish in Storyline 3 as html5 only....it does not work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the offer.  File contains 3 slides, each trying to extract the username or email.  Works fine in flash, but not html5.

I use moodle as an lms.

Hi Matthew,

Probably a dumb question, but I have various screens which need various combos of first/last/email/first initial etc. Can I set the screens up with the necessary references, then add this full code to 1 trigger on each screen (regardless of whether I need to call all references?)

Will this break the page as it might be calling for references that aren't on this screen? Just trying to see if I can stream line..

Thanks for your continued help with this,

Sal

(FYI I'm building an induction module which needs to display usernames, Outlook logins, etc so this is really useful).

Hi again Matthew - curly one for you. Any way to remove any punctuation from a last name?

i.e. O'Bryan > obyran

Taylor-Smith > taylorsmith

(I'm looking to arrive at a reference(s) which creates a username which is <firstinitial><surname>

i.e.

Carrie O'Bryan > cobryan

Thanks,

Sal

Can I confirm what settings you had when you published it.  I have been on this all day and if i set it to publish with flash or flash as fallback...it works.  If I set to html5 only...it fails.

I have tested on scormcloud and in moodle.

This should provide the requested results:

var lmsAPI = parent;
var name = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
var id = lmsAPI.GetStudentID();
var nameArray = str.split(" ");
var firstName = nameArray[1];
var firstInitial = firstName.charAt(0);
var lastName = nameArray[0];
var cleanLastName = lastName.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, "");
var userName = firstInitial + cleanLastName;
var userName = userName.toLowerCase();
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar('first_name', firstName);
player.SetVar('last_name', lastName);
player.SetVar('first_initial', firstInitial);
player.SetVar('email', id);
player.SetVar('username', userName);

Hi Sally,

Yes those are the variables required in SL.

Ooops my bad, sorry! Good catch Matthew!!

Nothing works if publishing HTML5 only in Moodle.

Anyone found a fix yet?

Perhaps a stupid question, but do you have javascript enabled on your browsers?
